O is for Onions and Optimism!

The Onion (Allium cepa), which is also known as the bulb onion, common onion is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium. Wikipedia

Here is a list of some of the different types of onions: baby, pearl, bermuda, cipollini, egyptian, red, green, purple, boiling, leeks, maui, scallion.

IN spite of the fact that I cry many times peeling onions; I love onions.

There is nothing like an onion to give optimism to any food dish.

So there it is; OPTIMISM. Yeah.

Optimists have a tendency to make lemonade out of lemons, and see the glass as half-full when it’s half-empty.

Putting a positive spin does not change the situation but it can certainly reduce damage and put things into a better perspective. Optimism is an admirable quality, one that can positively affect mental and physical health.

I LOVE THIS STORY: A small boy had a positive attitude while out in the yard playing by himself. He said to himself, “I’m the greatest batter in the whole world.” Then he threw the ball into the air, took a swing … and missed. Strike one! He said it again: “I’m the greatest batter in the whole world.” He threw the ball in the air, took a swing … and missed it again. Strike two! He repeated the process for the third time … swung … and missed. Strike three! Unwilling to be defeated of his optimism, he thought a minute and said, “Wow, I’m the greatest PITCHER in the whole world!”

Boy, I try to be optimistic, and can always be when it comes to helping somebody else through a situation, but personally I tend to panic in my own bad situations. I agree with the quotes, but lose them somewhere in the fog.

Yes Wendy;It is easier to be optimistic for others. Sometimes we joggle with optimism and pessimism..That’s natural I think as we strive to live an optimistic life. Also our humanity and emotional life seep in.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video

away your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving
us something informative to read?
